[3] Bhadbhut Barrage Project (Proposed by Kalpasar Department of Government of Gujarat), Near Bhadbhut Village , Tal. Vagra, Dist. Bharuch.

The Kalpsar Department, Government of Gujarat has proposed to construct a barrage across

Narmada river near Bhadbhut village. Barrage Project has not been included in the specified list.

However the proposed barrage will provide irrigation to about 1136 ha of land. Accordingly, the

project falls under category B of the project / activity no. 1(c) [i.e. the project having irrigation

command area less than 10,000 ha] in the schedule of the EIA Notification, 2006.

Earlier, the project was considered for screening /scoping in the meeting of the SEAC held on

05.01.2012 and 48 TOR were prescribed for the EIA study. Subsequently, additional 6 TOR were

prescribed in the meeting of the SEAC held on 06.02.2013. Public hearing for the project was

organized by the GPCB on 19.07.2013 at Bhadbhut village. Final EIA of the project was submitted in

February, 2014.

During the meeting, the project was appraised based on the information contained in the EIA Report

and the details presented before the committee.

The Kalpsar Department, Government of Gujarat has proposed to construct a barrage across river

Narmada near village Bhadbhut in Bharuch district with the following objectives :

a) Protection of water quality of river Narmada from salinity due to tidal water influence and

salinity ingress for achieving improvement of ground water quality in the upper reaches of

the river Narmada

b) Storage of regulated release of water from SSP including free-catchment, if available, for

domestic, irrigation and industrial needs

c) Protection of low lying areas affected by high flood of River Narmada on the left bank

d) Reduction in traffic congestion between Surat (Hazira) & Bharuch (Dahej) with an alternative

route and also reduction in travel distance by about 18 km by constructing a six lane road on

the top of the barrage

e) Assured water for existing defunct lift irrigation schemes

The basic data for design of proposed Bhadbhut Barrage are shown in table below:

Irrigation command area : Existing L.I. Schemes 1. Angareshwar : 568 ha. 2. Zanor scheme : 568 ha. Total area : 1136 ha.

The barrage will be constructed in downstream of village Bhadbhut to segregate Narmada river water

in the upper reach from tidal water of estuary, while allowing the environmental flow to pass through

the downstream estuary. The site for barrage construction is the river gorge of about 1700 m width,

5.15 Km downstream from village Bhadbhut (21 km downstream of Bharuch city and about 25 km

upstream of the river mouth). Main objectives of constructing the barrage are checking the problems

of salinity ingress and deterioration of ground water quality in upper reaches of Narmada, storage of

fresh river water for irrigation, domestic and industrial water supply, to provide lift irrigation facility to

about 1136 ha agricultural land along the river bank, flood protection of about 400 sq. km of low lying

area of 17 villages on left bank of river Narmada, road connectivity through alternative shorter route

from Surat-Hazira-Olpad-Hansot-Bhadbhut-Dahej by about 16 km. There will be provision of fish

passage for unobstructed migration of fishery species and ship lock-type arrangement for allowing

boat passage between upstream and downstream of the barrage. Construction of Bhadbhut barrage

on Narmada river will create 500 MCM fresh water reservoir. Two defunct lift irrigation schemes will

get rejuvenated due to the project. Further higher elevation areas, which are not getting benefits of

canal irrigation, will be benefited by new lift irrigation schemes and more area will be brought under

lift irrigation.

The barrage project due to its location in the estuarine zone of Narmada river attracts provisions of

CRZ Notification, 2011 and accordingly Kalpasar department has applied for CRZ clearance for the

proposed project. It was presented that the project was discussed in the meeting of GCZMA held on

25/03/2013.

EIA Report has been prepared by NEERI, Nagpur. The baseline environmental quality data was

collected within the project impact zone during summer, monsoon and winter of 2010-11. The

methodology included reconnaissance, collection of primary and secondary data through field

monitoring and other sources, micro-meteorological data (wind speed and wind direction) of the

project region was also collected simultaneously through a weather monitoring station installed at the

project site.

Salinity ingress in Narmada river takes place upto 70 km u/s and makes the river water saline and

unusable for domestic, irrigation, and industrial purposes. As a result, water for Dahej and PCPIR

region is supplied from Angreshwar (which is 70 km upstream), Narmada canal and Ukai canal. The

saline water has also rendered two lift irrigation schemes namely Zanor and Angreshwar defunct.

The Bhadbhut barrage, in addition to be a fresh water source for domestic, agriculture and industrial

requirement, will revive the two lift irrigation schemes and also make water available for agricultural

areas at higher elevation.

Data collected from the Assistant Director of Fisheries, Bharuch depict a declining trend of Hilsa fish

production from a high of 16646 MT in the year 1990-91 to the low 693 MT in the year 2010-11. The

production data of Prawn over the period 2004-05 to 2011-12 indicate a fluctuating trend (going up

7

and down) in Prawn production over these years. The measures proposed to avoid impact on fishery

have been narrated below:

(a) Fish hatcheries with modern technology tools would be set up at various locations in u/s and d/s

of the barrage to enhance the fish production in the area.

(b) There will be provision of fish pass, gates as well as navigation ship locks together with crane in

the proposed barrage. The fish pass would facilitate Hilsa to ascend in the river and Prawn in d/s

of barrage. Similarly, the barrage gates will be opened in the monsoon for movement of fish both

ways.

(c) Release of environmental flow: To maintain the ecological conditions in the river d/s of barrage,

600 cusecs of water (as decided by NCA) will be released from Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) as

environmental flow

(d) Fishing rights would be ensured to local fishermen for their livelihood in consultation with

Fisheries Department.

(e) A ship lock in the design of barrage is planned for easy movement of boats from reservoir to

estuary and vice versa. In addition to ship lock, provision of crane is also made in the design of

barrage as an additional measure for lifting and shifting of the boats as being practiced presently

at Veraval and Mangrol fishing ports.

Erosion and morphological changes with and without Barrage have been narrated below:

(a) Erosion of upstream left bank agricultural land areas: Ankleshwar to Hansot left bank is at level 4

to 7 m only hence, during monsoon the flood water gets aggravated and encroaches upon 400

sq. km agricultural land on left bank affecting 17 villages partially / fully. There is continuous

erosion of agricultural land. Land in some villages is entirely eroded which have been shifted to

higher elevation.

(b) Erosion of downstream right bank village land areas: Water channel of Narmada river from

Dhanturia up to Kantiyajal on the left bank is silted up. Consequently, the entire Narmada flow is

shifted towards the right bank d/s of village Bhadbhut. During the neap tide periods, the tidal

flow and the river flow are unidirectional and therefore attains higher velocity causing erosion of

right bank in d/s of village Bhadbhut.

(c) Silting in right bank from Bharuch to Bhadbhut: Due to prevailing hydraulic conditions, silt

deposition has taken place from Bharuch upto Bhadbhut village on right bank. The formation of

Dhanturia island is also due to silt deposition, causing obstruction to the river flow.

(d) Morphological situations of the downstream estuary: The flow of tidal water during ebb tide is

opposite to river flow which carries large sediment load and attains erosivity. Since opposite

flows cause reduction in velocity, the deposition and erosion take place depending on hydraulic

conditions. Formation of Dhanturia island and erosion of left bank are testimony to these

phenomena. The existing mud island Aliabet is at EL 4.0 m to 7.0 m, form the left bank of the

estuary and is stabilized. Of these two Narmada estuary channels, the western Aliabet channel

is completely silted up and is non-functional.

(e) Sedimentation: The total sediment contribution to Bhadbhut Barrage from the intercepted and

catchment works out to 24 Mm3. However this sediment yield is only indicative and depends on

factors like sediment capture by upstream reservoirs, construction of flood protection

8

embankment, erosion of left bank area, actual sediment deposit in proportion to reservoir volume

capacity (500 Mm3) to total inflow volume (6068 Mm3 @50% dependability as per NIH study).

Sediment load during monsoon will be disposed off by opening the barrage gate. In addition,

provision of silt excluders at the base of the barrage would facilitate continuous passage of

sediment even when the barrage gates remain closed during the flood-free period.

A three dimensional physical model of Barrage and river covering 700 sq. km area from Shuklatirth

upto Luwara point is constructed at Gujarat Engineering Research Institute, Vadodara. The physical

model was run at a different flood velocities without Bhadbhut barrage and the outcome shows the

shifting of the Narmada river towards left side. The physical model was also run with Barrage and the

impact of flood on u/s and d/s of barrage were monitored. Thereafter, the model has been run with

barrage as well as left bank flood protection embankment between Hansot and golden bridge (24 km

long) and observations have been taken at various flood frequencies. The physical model is useful

for locating and designing the left bank flood protection embankment as well as constructing right

bank protection in d/s of barrage as well as for deciding various issues like operation of gates,

providing fish passage and shiplock etc.

Kalpasar Department has entrusted Mathematical Model Study for Kalpasar Project as well as

Bhadbhut Barrage to NIOT, Chennai at a cost of 22 crores. NIOT has tied up with DHI, Netherlands

and the mathematical model of entire gulf of Khambhat without Kalpasar Dam and Bhadbhut Barrage

have been run recently to observe tide, current, erosion, sediment etc. phenomena occurring in gulf.

Now the model will also be run with Bhadbhut Barrage to observe / monitor the impact on Aliabet /

Kantiyajal as well as right bank.

As per study carried out by NIO, Goa, There will be 0.4 m rise in tidal water level on downstream of

the barrage. With the construction of barrage, the volume of tidal prism d/s as well as current/ velocity

will get reduced, thereby reducing tide induced sediment generation, as indicated by the study

carried out by NIO, Goa. To check the negative impacts due to rise in tidal water level, the estuary

banks will be trimmed to widen horizontal space in order to increase spread of tidal water. In addition,

a protective embankment for downstream estuary banks will be provided. Deepening and widening of

estuary channels and also opening of Aliabet channel are proposed for facilitating estuary water exit.

As per GEC Mangroves Atlas-2010 of Bharuch district, the mangrove patches which are stunted and

sparse are far away from the Bhadbhut barrage site (from 25 to 35 km, at village Devla, near Dahej

and near Vamleshwar). No mangroves exist in the close proximity of the project site and therefore

there would be no impact of the project on mangroves. Further, as per the Coral Atlas of Gujarat

State - 2011, Corals are absent from Gulf of Khambhat. Only Gulf of Kachchh holds coral formations.

Aliabet lies at the confluence of the river Narmada and the Arabian Sea in Gulf of Khambhat. It is

about 7 km from Hansot town. Because of salinity, there are no agricultural activities on the land, a

part of which is also prone to submergence during high tide. Bhadbhut barrage alignment is fixed in

such a way that the Aliabet will remain downstream of barrage. In addition, barrage has the provision

of guide bund as well as flood protection embankment to store the water in the barrage only with

limited spread beyond Narmada river. Thus, Aliabet will not come under submergence due to the

proposed barrage project. Barrage left bank approach involves 31.40 ha of forest land for which the

9

Kalpasar Department had made request to Forest Department to acquire this piece of land in lieu of

equal government land in Bhavnagar District as compensatory land. The approval to the above

proposal has been received from the Collector, Bhavnagar vide letter dtd. 23.06.2014 and sent to

Forest department by the Kalpasar department on 10.07.2014 for acquiring the land. Barrage left

bank flood protection embankment requires about 15 ha land which falls under forest land. The

Kalpasar department has initiated action for acquiring this land from the forest department.

During the meeting, issues raised during the public hearing were discussed at length. The main

issues raised during Public Hearing encompassed fisheries, river/estuary erosion, sedimentation and

submergence, river water quality as well as impacts of barrage on mangroves and Aliabet island. The

committee asked the project proponent to submit action plan to address each of the issues raised

during the public consultation. While inquiring about impact on drainage of water shed area

upstream of the Barrage, the project proponent informed that there will be provision of drain parallel

to the embankment and it will be having discharge in downstream of the Barrage. The committee

asked the project proponent to give details of drainage plan in writing. While asking about reasons of

proposing fish pass instead of fish ladder, the project proponent informed that fish pass has lesser

steep slope and it facilitated easy to & fro pass of fish than the fish ladder. He added that fish pass

provided at Naraj weir on Mahanadi is proved successful. The committee concerned about breeding

of Hilsa fish considering that Hilsa fish is saline water fish coming to fresh water of Narmada estuary

for breeding in monsoon. At this, the project proponent informed that Hilsa migrates to estuary water

for breeding only during high tides in monsoon when gates of the barrage will be kept open. The

committee asked the project proponent to take into account the ecological factors including migration

of Hilsa while deciding when to open / close gates of Barrage in monsoon and also to work out

detailed SOPs in this regard. The committee also asked the project proponent to give scientific

justification supporting that environment flow of 600 cusecs would be sufficient to sustain ecology of

Narmada estuary. While envisaging chances of erosion in downstream banks of Narmada estuary,

the project proponent informed that there will be provision of guide bund in downstream to avoid bank

erosion and moreover gate openings will be based on the physical model study to avoid erosion in

downstream. On inquiring about impact of 0.4 m rise in tidal water level in down-stream in terms of

submergence of land area if any going under submergence, the project proponent informed that no

area would go under submergence as they are going to do dredging in about 25 km stretch in

downstream. The committee asked the project proponent to submit details on need for capital and

maintenance dredging, disposal of dredge material and exact expected rise in tidal water level taking

into account proposed dredging. The committee noted that Environmental Management Plan

together with Environmental Monitoring Program have been formulated and incorporated in the EIA

report in order to minimize the negative impacts and maximize the positive impacts. After deliberation

on various aspects, it was decided to appraise the project further after satisfactory submission of

following additional information / documents :

1) Time bound action plan for addressing each of the issues raised during the public consultation

process.

2) Exact extent of forest area required to be diverted for various components of the project.

Detailed on the drainage plan considering the construction of left bank protective embankment.

7) Scientific base for deriving 600 cusec as environmental flow and proper justification supporting

that environment flow of 600 cusecs would be sufficient to sustain ecology of Narmada estuary.

8) Detailed SOPs for opening or closing of barrage gates taking into account the ecological factors

including migration of Hilsa in monsoon. Details of proposed fish pass and detailed plan for

ensuring that migration of Hilsa fish would not be affected due to the proposed barrage project.

9) Exact rise in tidal water level at the barrage at the time of highest of high tide and its impact in

terms of submergence of area downstream of the barrage. Whether any land area would go

under submergence due to this rise in tidal water level?

The SEIAA, Gujarat has accorded environmental clearance to M/s Raghuvir Developers & Builders for residential building construction project “Sheraton Luxury” vide order no. SEIAA/GUJ/EC/8(a)/

16

162/2012 dated 31/05/2013 for the built-up area of 28,703.70 m2 at O.P. No.86, F.P.No.86, T.P.S.No.5, Vill. Bhimrad, Dist. Surat.

Now, the project proponent vide their letter dated 07/08/2013, stated that the built up area of the project is increasing due to increase in basement area as well as due to addition of the area of club house. Due to increase in basement area and additional area of club house, built up area of the project will be 30,450.32 m2 which was 28,703.70 m2 as per the Environmental Clearance granted by the SEIAA. The project proponent requested to amend the EC order dated 31/05/2013 with reference to the increased built up area of the project.

The request of amendment was considered during the meeting and it was presented that the basement area of the project which was 2,403.55 m2 as per the Environmental Clearance granted, has now increased to 3,856.30 m2. Due to increase in basement area and addition of built up area of club house-293.39 m2, the built up area will be 30,450.32 m2 which was 28,703.70 m2 as per the Environmental Clearance granted by the SEIAA. While asking by the committee, the project proponent replied that, the basement will be used for parking purpose and the club house will be provided for internal use of residents of the proposed project only. The project proponent has submitted the revised project plans and it was presented that the revised project plans have been approved by SMC.

Looking to the fact that the proposed increase in built up area does not lead to any increase in number of residential units, resource requirement or parking requirement for the project, it was decided to amend the EC order no. SEIAA/GUJ/EC/8(a)/162/2012 dated 31/05/2013 for the proposed change in built up area i.e 30,450.32 m2 instead of 28,703.70 m2.

[6] Panoli Intermediates (I) Pvt. Ltd(U-II), P.No 159/5 A, GIDC Nandesari, Dist Vadodara.

This is an existing chemical manufacturing unit which was accorded Environmental Clearance vide letter no. SEIAA/GUJ/EC/5(f) & 1(d)/147/2013 dated 15/07/2013. Environmental Clearance was granted with a condition to use Natural gas to the tune of 28,000 Nm3/day as a fuel in a Boiler (20 TPH) whereas natural gas to the tune of 6,000 Nm3/day shall be used as a fuel in new Power Plant (1.4 MW).

The project proponent vide their letter dated 20/07/2013 requested for amendment in Environmental Clearance order dated 15/07/2013 with respect to the change in fuel from natural gas to Coal.

The request was considered during the meeting and it was presented that due to steep increase in Natural Gas price, the natural gas utilization for the project became much costlier than what was estimated at the time of getting Environmental Clearance. As the energy is one of the vital cost factors in survival of the project, they need to change the fuel from natural gas to coal, which is five times cheaper than the natural gas. They are now planning to install a coal fired boiler of 20 MT capacity with ESP as APCM. 60 MT/day of coal will be used in the proposed coal fired boiler.

During the meeting, after detailed discussion on the matter, It was decided to further appraise the project only after submission of the following:
